About This Poem
To survive
Swaying away in the glints of the sun
shielding the mice from the birds overhead
smiling shly thinking my work's nearly done
nearly time to sleep in my earthy bed
Soon the sky will darken, sun disappears
the fronds will curl up to sleep till dawn
When sun is up , it stretches and re-appears
ready to shield and hide and look upon
The fronds remind me of a parents part
in shielding and keeping us from harm
This done with love and from the heart
always there for us , always so calm
Relaxed in the knowledge of a job well done
opens up the shield lets the light into our lives
Time for us all to make the decisions alone
your folks step back, it's up to us to survive
